Book Synopsis El Dorado in West Africa by : Raymond E. Dumett
Book excerpt: Professor Dumett tells the story of the expatriate-led gold boom of 1875-1900 against the background of colonial capitalism. Through the use of field interviews, he also brings to light the expansion of a parallel "African gold-mining frontier," which outpaced the expatriate mining sector.
